I think I have a solution. I've looked at the command line options for caffeine many times, and I never noticed the "-useshift" option, which makes it use the shift key instead of f15. That should do the trick for me. I'm testing it now, and it appears to be fine (and it also doesn't appear to cause trouble if I'm typing while the event is emitted). -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
